Rosy Little Pumpkin Cupcakes

Kristan's baby girl is expected in just a few weeks and since she will be a fall little pumpkin, I thought some pumpkin cupcakes might be in order.

I feel sure you all know Kristan from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen. I would say that Kristan is one of my very favorite bloggers, but you know what? She's more than that. She's one of my very favorite people. Her little Lucy is about to be welcomed into one adorable and loving family, full of sparkles and big brother's magic tricks.

The cupcakes are a doctored up cake mix batter loaded with pumpkin and spices. The frosting...oh, the frosting! How about a buttery, cinnamon cream cheese frosting that's so good, you'll contemplate buying one of those beer helmets and converting it to a frosting helmet.

These look so sweet in the teacups. I hope your book signing went well up there in N. Houston. We went on that "Dumpling Crawl" with the Houston Chowhounds group. Won't be craving dumplings for awhile. Lucy seems to making a comback...such a cute name!

Okay, I'm in for a frosting helmet. How do we make that happen? These are simply lovely, Bridget. If I had to pick a favorite cupcake for every season, these would absolutely be my answer for Autumn. Beautiful job.

My best friend did this EXACT SAME THING for Thanksgiving last year and it was AWESOME! I don't like pumpkin-y things (yes, I'm shunned by the pumpkin community each fall... it's very lonely out here) but I ate that cake up! Almost to the point of no return so I was forced to admit that I actually enjoyed something pumpkin-y. It drove my mother crazy - my best friend can make things that I'll try yet will refuse if she makes it. But, hey, that's what daughters are for! (See what you're in for Kristan?)

Excuse me but I need a FROSTING HELMET!Seriously! Buttercream Frosting with CINNAMON!HEAVEN!I bet your house smelled so yummy while these SPICED up PUMPKIN cupcakes were baking!I too adore Kristan! If she ever does have her own sit~com one day I sure hope she'll tell Barbara Walters I was the one that gave her the idea! ;) Kristan is a doll~baby!Can you just imagine how adorable LUCY will dress!And how cute is that name! LUCY! xoxoxoThese cupcakes are cute too! That rosey frosting swirl is amazing!YOU BE SO TALENTED GIRLY!xoxoxLove these Bridget and wishing Kristan all the happiness she gives others!xoxoxo

Beautiful serving idea Bridget. Perfect for these gorgeous cupcakes. Love Kirstan. She's a mighty strong, very talented and very funny lady all wrapped up in the cutest little package. Best wishes to her and her family as they prepare to welcome their little Lucy into the world.

These are so pretty. I love how you have them in little tea cups. I love visiting Kristans blog, it's always so bright and colorful and she has such a bubbly personality - it jumps right out of the monitor! I can't wait to hear all the fun things she'll be decorating for her little girl and I'm sure her son will be helping her every step of the way! How fun that you're all doing this for her.

oh these cupcakes look absolutely delicious, I just bought some more pumpkin and will put these on my list!Glad you liked the video on frosting :) thanks for including it in your post. You are so sweet. XXXOOO!What a fun shower for Kristan, can't wait to meet her sweet Lucy!

Oh my gosh! I found you through Pinterest, and boy howdy are your site and recipes gorgeous! I featured your Candy Corn Cookies on my site, www.iPinnedIt.com, which shows off the PROPS! and FLOPS! off of Pinterest. Your cookies are definitely a PROP! So, so darling!

The realitly is that MOST people find baking a cake completely from scratch over whelming and ONLY use box cake mixes. Those people will be excited by this recipe and feel like they can make this. If you look into the other recipes on this blog, you will notice that it's almost all scratch baking.

These cupcakes are absolutely amazing! I'm delighted with them! I've featured this recipes on my blog! I hope you don't mind! If you don't agree with that please contact me and I will remove it. All the best.

Bridget, I made these about two weeks ago, and OH MY GOODNESS! They were amazing! I could have eaten the frosting by the spoonful ;) Thank you so much for this post, these cupcakes were, easy and fun to make, and outstanding in flavor! I got many compliments, so I had to come THANK YOU, where the credit is due!!
